This is a great property. Well kept and stocked, and pictures are accurate. It worked well for our two families. The host was proactive and responsive. Our kids loved the pool (with a small basketball goal) and hot tub, as well as fishing off the dock. The only thing to note is the one bedroom does not connect to the rest of the house. You have to enter through the patio. It worked for our older kids, but is something to be aware of.

Vacation home

Very nice place with lots to do. Owner did come by during stay to get his boat, and had a mechanic come and work on the boat on the dock for a few hours. We are private people, which was different when renting a private place.
Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 12 June 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the home and all the amenities it offers. We’re naturally a bit disappointed to receive a four-star review in this case, as we strive to provide a five-star experience for all our guests. Before your arrival, we did communicate that a boat mechanic would briefly be on site during your stay, and that I might stop by briefly to move the boat. We always try to give advance notice and work around our guests’ schedules whenever possible. The mechanic was present for about two hours one afternoon, and I personally was there for less than 10 minutes to relocate the boat. As the homeowner, I do occasionally need to perform routine maintenance on the vessel docked at the property, and we do our best to be as unobtrusive and respectful of privacy as possible. Had we known this would affect your comfort, we would have made alternative arrangements. We’re pleased that you enjoyed your visit overall, and we hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future.

Trip to go gulf stream fishing and visit beaches

As soon as we arrived and opened the door the house smelled so fresh and clean! We really appreciated how nice and clean everything was. Anything you could ever need was there and if we couldn’t find it, Michael was only a text away. Everything was just like the pictures. We loved the outdoor area! The only wish that it was closer to the beaches, but that was my fault when booking.

Honey “home away from home” moon!

My husband and I wanted to find a place to get away and turn off, and found this property. It was absolutely perfect! The neighborhood was so quiet and nestled away in Apollo beach, but easily accessible to groceries and night life in Tampa. The pool, perfect to unwind and get that good quality Florida sunshine. The house itself was so clean and comfortable, we really were able to make it our home away from home for the week. It had everything in the kitchen which was a lifesaver, and the fun activities it offered were top tier (paddle boards/kayaks, pool table, giant outdoor games). If we planned a trip to Florida, 10/10 we’d be booking this property again!!
